Weird Horror Wednesday: The Omen IV: Awakening

Rupert Pupkin has been posting many other film fan's favorite underrated horror movies. Some of the titles brought me back to a time when I was around 13-14 and my friends and I would rent crappy horror VHS tapes from the video store. There are 5 Wednesdays this October, and every Wednesday I'm going to post musings on a different horror movie. These are by no means great movies, in fact, all of them are pretty terrible, but they stick with me for one reason or another. *My family actually owned all three of the original Omen movies. So I had already seen them. When I came across this, I was like "Oh man, I wonder if my sister knows about this?" Well she did, and it was avoided for a reason. *It's like someone who had just got done watching movies like The Exorcist, Bad Seed, and The Poltergeist and was like "little girls are so much scarier than little boys!" "Let's make an Omen movie about a girl!" *The acting in this is atro...

I still remember lying to my friend "no, it didn't scare me" after we watched it, then riding my bike home like a bat out of hell. *I also remember we watched this and Candyman on the same day, but that's legitimately one of my favorite horror movies, so it doesn't get a spot on my bad horror Wednesdays. *They actually made quite a few more of these, some stream instant on Netflix. I haven't wa...

I've actually never seen Troll 2. (Though I did see the documentary Best Worst Movie ) I always remember the original. *Whenever I see a Hardees, I just keep thinking of this little girl running around screaming "WORKS BURGER!!!" *The lead character's name is Harry Potter, how fucking perfect is that? *Wendy Anne apparently only owned overalls. *Julia Louise Dreyfus is in this, and she is only...

It was called ' Pigs ." I'm still unsure which title is more widely used nowadays. *For a long time, I swear no one believed me when I told them this movie existing. (Probably because of the title change) I always referred to it as ' Pigs ' and I was pretty thrown off by the thought of little Wilburs and Porkys eating people. *When I eventually came across this movie again when I was older, I rea...

These are by no means great movies, in fact, all of them are pretty terrible, but they stick with me for one reason or another.   *The documentary Blackfish actually used a short scene from Orca in part of their film. It's probably two seconds in length, but it's the only part of that movie where I actually laughed. *Orca was like Luciano Vincenzoni's answer to Jaws . Some boaters kill an orca's pregnant mate, and that orca understandably loses his shit and starts terrorizing said boaters. *When you think about just how intelligent orcas really are,  I can kind of almost see this happening.
